With Wii, Nintendo took gaming to the next level thanks to its interactive Wii remote (WiiMote) that can be attached to a joystick or other input devices, and some great attachments such as Wii Wheel and Nunchuk which allow more freedom with your hands. It’s Nintendo’s one of the bestselling consoles of all time which even managed to surpass the sales of Microsoft’s Xbox 360. It managed to generate a great deal of love and nostalgia for what it did with the Wii, which was then touted as the future of gaming.
The Wii is a seventh generation video game console released by the Japanese video game company Nintendo in 2006 and a worthy successor to its previous console, GameCube.
In 2012, Nintendo released its next game console and the successor to the Wii – the Wii U. Despite having a slower processor and a poor graphics performance than its rivals, the Wii sales have touched new heights of popularity. About 26 million units of Wii were believed to be sold in 2009, which was the highest number till date. The Wii has become one of the bestselling video game consoles of all time, surpassing the Xbox 360 in terms of sales figures in 2007, according to the Financial Times reports.
The Wii U is basically a souped-up version of the original Wii which changed the face of gaming by targeting a broader demographic catering to people of all ages. The first thing you’ll notice when you get your hands on the Nintendo’s next game console is its length – the Wii U is undoubtedly Nintendo’s longest video game console yet.
